miles south of this city, considerably

after few words drew his pistol

through the heart. After the killing
he left the scene and is at large,

squarely before the people. No
body believes that congress will do
anything toward modifying the tar

dicker over the matter aud go into
the presidential campaign with tariff
duties just where they are to day,
The manufacturers don believe
congress intends to accomplish any
thing definite, and are going on as
II there was no mention of tariff
bill anywhere. They have never
turned out SO many goods as this
year. Prices have been low and
profits must be maze from the great
numbers OF orders. I think this
kind OF a boom viii continue until

There is one paragraph iii the
presidents message which ought to
be printed in bold, black, legible let
ters OF stiff cardboard and conspicu
ously displayed not only Ill the house
and the senate chamber, but also III
the lobbies, committee rooms, restau-

recommend it with unqualified ap-
proval to the attention of the demo-
Gratis in congress-:
'It is not expected that Unnecessary
and extravagant appropriations will
be made Tor the purpose of avoiding
an accumulation of an excess of reve,

of Holman and of every other wise
and honest democratic leader in re-
cent years who has recognized the
fact that honesty and economy in the
expenditure of the peoples money
are alike the sure foundation of demo
cratic success and the pinnacle OF
democratic achievement.
The danger is that the great heaps
of dollars in the treasury may throw
a gold blindness upon the eyes OF
the majority. The timely and i'm
pressive words of the president will
serve to remind the party that nev

Slater fund is being utilized to the
double education of the young, and
the incentive to the adoption OF
industrial teaching among the COL
ored schools will no doubt act as
spur to the educationists in charge
Of schools for white children, who
will at least not care to be out
stripped by the colored race in the
industrial more than the intellectu-
al field.
Skilled labor will be the great
demand of the future. The advan-
tage will all lie with the youths who
enter shops, factories, ETC., with a
practical knowledge of and a
trained fitness for the work in hand.
Every year tends to elevate skilled
labor, and in the industrial field the
survival of the fittest will mean the
triumph of the skilled workman.
Educators and parents owe 1t to
pupils aud children to ground them
thoroughly in practical and techni-
cal knowledge, The education OF
the brain is not enough; the hands
must be trained. But this matter
of industrial education needs to be
regulated to the individual in such
a way that children will be given
definite education in particular
trade or occupation, rather than q
vague understanding of the princi-
pies Of many crafts. What the ad-
illustrators of the Slater fund are
dong for the colored youths OF tht
South should be done by educator
in all sections of the country 70
youths in general. The labor OF thu
next generation will largely be per
formed by educated men.-lnte

see Governor Hoadly raised to the
Supreme Court Bench. As Gov
sernor of Ohio he placed himself on
record as favoring the same meas
ure of constitutional justice and
equal rights for colored men that
white men enjoy, and if he
were raised to the Supreme Court
Bench the colored people of the
country could rest assured that he
would construe questions coming
before that court affecting them
from the broadcast and healthiest
standpoint. Besides he is equally
as sound on questions affecting the

TIE SLATER FUND.

In 1882 John F. Slater, Esq,
conveyed to several gentlemen in
trust the sum of 100000 for the
education of the freedmen in the
South. Mr., Slater, who died in
1884, was manufacturer and
philanthropist. born at Statewide,
r. l., in 1915. He early became
interested in educational matters,
contributing literally toward the
establishment of schools, though
his browning work was his action
to enable the Southern Negroes to
rise superior to their ns'nral condi
tons. DR.. A. G. HAygO d was APP
pointed general agent OF the trus-
tees, and results have proved that u
more jud,cious choice could not
have been made. DR.. Haygood spent
nearly year travelling through The
South examining conditions bear
ing upon this branch of educational
work, the result of his findings
being the adoption Of a resolution
to especially favor with appropria-
tons those institutions which give
instruction IN trades or other man
ual occupations that will enable
colored youths to earn a living and
become useful citizens.
Under this provision $l6,25O was
disbursed the first year, $l7,6O7 in
1884, $36,764 in 1885, $4,000 in
1886, and $4,000 has been appro-
priated for this year, This money
has been put out in Alabama, Geor-
gia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, and
Virginia. The determination to util-
ize this fund chiefly in aid of
schools that added manual training
to the regular course of instruction
was rea ;hed only after II careful
and thorough investigation into the
coalition of the freedmen, their
needs, and the field of usefulness
open 10 them, but it was not intend
Ell to discriminate against other
dc @. wing institutions in favoriug
them. Wherever the work of edu--
eating the Negro merits the service
heip from the Slater fund may be
asked for with confidence. Indeed,
the trustees went step further
and gave DIR. Haygood liberty to
devote "a specific sum annually in
aid of suitable young men who
wished to prepare themselves for
the practice of medicine among
their people. This was a highly
important prov ON, as none OF the
three schools Tor tho training of
cO.ored doctors IN the South has the
full resources which the work re-
quires,
The experiments mode during
the past four years have demonstra
ted to the trustees the great value
OF manual training in connection
with mental discipline, and from
preterrlng schools SO equipped the
general agent is now of the opinion
that appropriations should be limit
ed 10 schools that support an
industrial department. This ques-
ton of teaching the yong some
practical trade or vocation is rapid
ly becoming an important and lead.
Ing 'nsideration with educationists
III this and other countries.
The Importance of qualifying
young men and women to become
selt-supporting on qritting school
has impressed itself upon the minds
OF thinkers. and in several European
countries technical institutions are
rising beside the colleges or becom>
ing part of them, while in
America the idea is fast being
given practical turn. 1t is due

ergy of DIR, HAYWOOD that ,hs
